Every summer, Monterey Car Week transforms California into a temple to the automobile. In 2025, manufacturers and tuners vied with each other in their creativity to seduce a demanding public. From electric concepts to hybrid hypercars, the diversity was total. Daring restomods, unprecedented supercars and extraordinary performances were the hallmarks of the event. Here’s a look back at the models that thrilled enthusiasts and collectors alike.
General Motors, electric and spectacular
General Motors hit back with two striking concepts. The electric Corvette CX impressed with its radical design and performance ambitions. Alongside it, the CX.R Vision Gran Turismo, developed with the creator of the famous video game, ignited discussions. Cadillac also unveiled its Elevated Velocity concept, a sculptural manifesto of future luxury. The public reacted enthusiastically, with some wanting to buy models not yet on the market.
Lamborghini Fenomeno: the hypercar of extremes
The Italian marque has unveiled the Fenomeno, produced in just 29 examples. With 1,080 bhp, this hybrid hypercar accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds. With a price tag of 3.5 million dollars, it is aimed at a very select clientele. Its sharp design and oversized engine make it one of the jewels of the 2025 edition.
Restomods and unique creations
The tuners showed off their expertise with some daring interpretations. Gunther Werks presented Project F-26, a Porsche 993 transformed into a 1,000-horsepower monster. Ringbrothers reinvented a 1971 Aston Martin DBS, now the Octavia, powered by an 816bhp Ford V8. Meyers Manx and Tuthill surprised us with the LFG buggy, powered by a Porsche flat-six capable of 11,000 rpm.
Gordon Murray, a tribute to the legends
The British engineer celebrated the 30th anniversary of the McLaren F1 victory at Le Mans. Under his GMSV brand, he presented two exclusive supercars, including the Le Mans GTR. A demonstration of his expertise that confirms his status as a key figure in the world of sports cars.
The 2025 edition of Monterey Car Week will go down as one of the most exciting and surprising ever. With electrified innovations, tributes to icons and outrageous performances, the event once again proved that it’s much more than a show: it’s an open-air spectacle where the automobile is constantly reinventing itself.
